Mehluli Sibanda, Senior Sports ReporterAFTER being forced to abandon plans to play a Test match against Portugal on July 3 due to the European country’s coronavirus situation, the Zimbabwe senior men’s rugby team has now had to delay its departure for the Rugby Africa Cup in Tunisia due to Covid-19. The Sables had been scheduled to head out to the north African country yesterday for the Rugby Africa Cup Pool D where they will face Burkina Faso and Tunisia. It means the Sables will continue fine tuning at Old Georgians Sports Club in Harare before they depart for Tunisia. Rugby Africa is obviously aware and they have helped manage the situation,” said Maritz. The Sables had to also stop training when a sporting ban came into effect in the country on June 14.
